About Destinations For Teens

Exceptional, Accessible

care for teens and their families.

Destinations is one of the premier teen treatment centers in the country. Both our residential and outpatient programs are designed to support the whole family throughout their journey to sustainable wellbeing. By providing a quality safe-haven, a full range of treatments, and an uninterrupted education, we have one of the highest rates of success in the industry. Whether treating mental illness, addiction, or both, we pride ourselves in exceptional service and accessible care for the teen and their family. A foundational goal of treatment at Destinations is the sincere desire to help re-introduce clients to themselves, in a more loving way.

Our Approach

Destinations focuses on Family Systems Therapy at the core of our care. Family Systems Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals resolve their problems in the context of the whole family. Each family member works together with the others to better understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most important premises of Family Systems Therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family.

Family Systems Therapy

Dr. Veronica Barenstein conducts thorough group supervision with all of our therapists. She was an original student of the creator of Family Systems Therapy, Salvador Munchin. In bi-monthly sessions, Dr. Barenstein provides feedback and mentoring on family sessions that are conducted in our programs. We also provide two parent support groups and two parent education classes each month. Each family also has a family therapist that is independent from the assigned therapist for the teen. Lastly, the clinical treatment team meets once a week to collaborate on best treatment methods for each family.

As such, we do our best, from wherever we sit in the organization in an effort to speak truthfully, earn trust and maintain sincerity in our actions.

DEDICATION

We believe commitment and effort is a direct result of caring deeply for and believing in the vision of the organization.
